Scope
This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for double blade circular sawing machines for cross-cutting with integrated feed of the cutting-stroke, with manual loading and/or unloading of the workpiece and capable of continuous production use, hereinafter referred to also as “machines”.
Purpose
Currently no international standards on safety of woodworking machines exist. Regional (EN) standards on this subject exist and are being used as blueprint for similar, but not identical, national standards in several countries. In order to avoid diverging requirements a set of international standards on woodworking machine safety is imminent.
